When brushing isn't good for you...

     By Dr. Teifue Chen

     "Toothpaste contains sodium lauryl sulfate(SLS) or a
similar ingredient,this is a grease cutting detergent, to strong
for mucus membrane. SLS is very irritating and can cause gums
to recede, on the low side of the damage it can do.
      Makers include saccharine and artificial flavors, just
to name a few of the offenders, to cover up the chemical. Is
it any wonder that there is a warning on it that it should not be
swallowed? These ingredients are especially harmful to children!

    1. Christy,
      Your so right, it is pretty scary! And it is also true
      that it is incredible that manufactures can make products
      that are harmful to us. That is why we as consumers should
      always educate ourselves on what we eat or put on our skin
      etc. Yes herbal toothpaste is a fantastic alternative. If
      you need any recommendations please let me know, I changed
      to one a while back and it is fantastic!
